Squarespace 7

The simplest, most powerful website builder in the world. I had the pleasure of working on several of its core components as well shepherding the interface at the heart of it.

LayoutEngine

When we were building Squarespace 6 back in 2011, we wanted to break free of the limitations of the Content Management Systems of the past. We wanted a way of building layouts in the browser, that was both easy, beautiful and truthful to how the browser views the world.

An early, more technical prototype for building grid-based layouts existed when I joined the company. I pared down the concept and made it pure drag and drop, and invented a way for us to do to do nested layouts. LayoutEngine launched with Squarespace 6, and has been oft-imitated ever since..
